The two-run blast off Brewers reliever Matt Albers added to Houston's score, giving them a commanding 8-3 lead.
The Astros young prospect was highly touted coming into this season, ranking as the 44th best prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline. Fans were enamored with his power stroke as he crushed 23 homers in 56 games at Triple-A. He has certainly shown off his skills in his brief major league career so far.
